    Well-kept charming old English farmhouse. Well-decorated conservatory with beautiful plants, and everything you need for breakfast. Charming lounge with Christmas decorations gave Christmas a lovely touch.

    The fact that I had to go downstairs to use the bathroom during the night was problematic because of my mobility issues, but I was aware of this prior to arriving so that in itself was not the fault of the accommodation, I could have cancelled once I found out, but I didn't.

    Mary was absolutely lovely & helpful, the property was beautiful & the location was great, so peaceful & quiet. I plan to return next year, but this time I will make sure I get an en-suite, because of my mobility issues it was very difficult getting up & down the stairs to use the bathroom, especially throughout the night, but other than that I can't find fault with accommodation.

    Great location, so peaceful but only 5 minutes from the main road and you feel like you are miles from anywhere. Also a good starting point to visit anywhere on Dartmoor. Great choice for breakfast, yummy yogurt & fruit compote(me) to huge full English (him), no food needed for the rest of the day! Fantastic nights sleep, super comfortable bed and so quiet.

    It was a shame our lone neighbour & fellow guest decided to speak so long on her mobile phone during our first evening. Why is it that so many people shout when on a mobile? We never met her. Fortunately, she left the next morning.

    Mary is an exceptional hostess, very warm & caring, and she goes the extra mile to help visitors with queries re local amenities. Brilliant food, friendly staff, beautiful area with lots of walking, or simply gazing at the scenery, and lots to explore locally.

    Wonderful location, lovely room, comfy bed, fabulous shower and bathroom, delicious generous breakfast… all the things you hope will be great. Then what makes it extra special are the thoughtful touches and the friendly and professional hosts. So many extra things that make your stay exceptional, for example Mary makes you your very own loaf of home made bread for the breakfast table. I stayed for several days and met a few people who had booked for one night and said they wished they had booked for longer and/ or intend to return. I hope to go back.

    The hosts friendliness and very comfortable room

    Mary was an excellent host and went out of her way to make our stay really supportive and welcomed. We were walkers and therefore needed extra help with transport and getting to local pubs. Mary provided us with lifts and valuable local knowledge of the local pathways. We were very well looked after. We had a wonderful breakfast. The only complaint was we had limited hot water for our showers the next day.

    I had an excellent stay. Communications were very clear before I arrived. Signage was very clear on arrival. The location was tranquil and quiet. The view was great. The room was lovely, with nice fittings in the Bathroom. Breakfast was as requested and homemade bread and marmalade were an additional treat. Parking was easy in the Farm Yard. Near the A30 and near Okehampton which has a nice pub the Fountain and a Waitrose.

    The Breakfast could have bee 'Full English', but I chose Eggs and Bacon and a whole loaf of freshly baked bread was on the table too! The whole ambience was 16th Century and the only noise were farm animals. Juist off the A30 so close to any destination.
